Ok so last night out of no where some glass sliced my tire while on my way home, and now it seems that when I accellerate the car pulls to the right, kinda hard too. And when I let off the gas it pulls left. HELP ME!!!! What did I F&*K up?

glass? Where did the tire get sliced? Sounds like your rear toe got messed up some how....but we need more info.

It was on the outter sidewall on the driver side rear tire. got new rear tire today for it but the pass rear is balding so that might also not be helping the situation. Just kinda freaking out ya know? Been building cars a long time but never ran across this problem.... and I plan on replacing the pass tire next payday

bad alignment + inconsistent lateral tread depth would be my first guess. I take it you didnt get an alignment when you had the tire installed?

No, couldn't afford it. Being a single dad my money this paycheck went to my sons easter and the unexpected tire. So I should get the other tire and an alignment after the next paycheck?

Just get another tire, it's bad for the diff and will cause on off throttle pull with different diameter tires left to right like you're experiencing.

Thanks guys. I truly mean that. You both have saved me from completely freaking out. This is my baby and I would be beyond distraught if it got messed up.
